Answer:
Therefore government purchases is $300 million
Explanation:
In this case, GDP is the sum of consumption, investment, and government purchases. To calculate the value of consumption we use the formula:
CC + II + GG = Y
GG = Y - CC - II
Where:
government purchases = GG
taxes minus transfer payments (TT) = $260 million
consumption (CC) = $300 million
investment (II) = $300 million
Y = country GDP = $800 million
GG = Y - CC - II
Substituting:
GG = $800 million - $300 milllion - $300 million
GG = $200 million
Therefore government purchases is $300 million
